ICE Murders Another American Citizen In Minnesota

ICE agents have killed another Minnesota citizen. This time it was ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

In a news segment soon after the murder, ICE officials said Pretti had approached them brandishing a weapon (a 9mm pistol) and was trying to massacre ICE officers. That is an outrageous LIE!

Video showed that Pretti had nothing but a phone in his hand, and he was not being aggressive toward ICE agents. What he was doing is trying to help up another citizen who had been brutally shoved down by an ICE agent. As he was helping the person to their feet, he was attacked and thrown to the ground by several ICE agents. As the photo above shows, they had him on the ground with his hands behind his back.

It was then that they discovered he had a gun on him (which he was legally permitted to carry by Minnesota law), and an agent called out gun. Another agent then shot Pretti in an overreaction - even though he was on the ground and posed no real threat. 

DHS officials then said they would be the only agency investigating the shooting - even though they had already held a news conference saying the shooting was justified. They evidently are worried that a real investigation would find something wrong with the shooting. When a department investigates its own actions, it is very likely they are just trying to cover up what happened.

Once again, ICE has murdered an innocent American citizen. This has to stop. Unfortunately, Trump doesn't want it to stop. He wants to use it to impose the Insurrection Act and bring in federal troops to make the situation even worse - and the Republican Congress is either complicit or too cowardly to stop him.
